Skype/Distance Learning:
​

 All lessons can be taught via distance learning. Here are some options for distance learning:
​
  • SKYPE (online / internet -free video calls with text option -more information below).
  • TELEPHONE
  • FACETIME (for iPhones -free video calls)
  • OTHER (e.g. Google Hangouts)​

(I usually use Skype as it is free and easy and so my preferred option. Some clients however prefer to call me on the phone or use a form of messenger -all methods are fine).

​Where appropriate we can use Google Classroom. I mainly use this for groups (I will explain if relevant).


Benefits / Why Many People Prefer Distance Learning:
​

​​
  • Saves travel time and costs.

  • Worried parents can be assured that their children are safe. (I have a perfect, clear CRB police check certificate from the UK which means I am legally approved to work with children. You are welcome to see this).

  • Continue regular lessons even if you leave the country or if you cannot attend lessons in-person.
​
  • Flexibility e.g without needing to travel you can fit a lesson into you lunch break, etc.


Skype Explained:
​

​
  • Skype is a free internet calling service which takes a few minutes to set up.

  • It allows you to make free unlimited calls using voice, webcam, messaging (written text) & it allows for attachments.
​

​

  • You can call from/to anywhere in the world for free (between two Skype accounts) or there are excellent package rates if you are calling a landline or mobile.


  • Some countries require a VPN in order for Skype to work effectively.


​Options: Using Skype:​


  •  Talk, as if on the phone. This is usually done via computers however, if you have a Skype app on your phone, tablet or iPad then you can call from your mobile device. (Skype also has a free app that you can download to your smart phone or device).
  • ​​​​Using Skype or a similar service on a computer.​

  •  Type to one another whilst talking (or instead of talking).

  • Send one another attachments via Skype -useful, for example, if you have a document you would like to send me to edit and discuss.
